Saints 1-2 Millwall - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

Ipswich winning

[Block41 Saint]

Please stop this inverted full back shite. 

[Block41 Saint]

Millwall penalty. 

[Saint NL]

I see why Stephens started this game, he's our enforcer on the pitch 

[Suhari]

Shit. Penalty Millwall.

[Saint NL]

Clear handball FFS.

Obafemi won them that penalty 

[saintant]

Baz to make amends?

[Mr X]

FFS saints 

[Suhari]

Scored. 1-2

[obelisk]

Defensively Saints are a shambles again. Penalty.

[Saint NL]

1-2

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh fuck. Millwall are a bunch of lucky lucky cnuts!

I predict no, retrospectively 

[Mr X]

Bazunu nowhere near that

They are really having a go to be fair 

[Saint86]

Good pen, in off the post. Again, just laughably frail at the back.

[Saint NL]

Post and in, nearly missed it.

Now we have to do it all again.

[obelisk]

Conceded 2 goals yet again.

[AlexLaw76]

another 2 goals shipped

Whats new?

[saintant]

Two goals conceded again in the first half. This is just not good enough and we are making it tough for ourselves even against opposition as poor as these. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Wheels well and truly fallen off.

When is Downes back?

[Scoobysaint]

This makes no sense. When Smallbone is the 6 role, we ship goals for fun. Shea Charles plays against Baggies and we keep a clean sheet. 
Clearly the way forward for Martin is to play the team that concedes goals to run!! Unbelievable. It’s really not rocket science, it’s clear as day.

He's "close"....

[Bad Wolf]

The patient and loyal fanbase strikes again. The definition of "you only sing when you're winning" here

[OttawaSaint]

Will we go up this year?

 

I think we are "close"...

No, as in Catch Phrase it's a case of 'say what you see'.

[Saint NL]

Ipswich now drawing

[obelisk]

With all these goals being conceded there's no way Saints are getting promoted. Defensively we're a mess.

[Mr X]

Got to score twice now, can't see it with Millwall's decent defending and lady luck on their side!

I am starting to feel a sense of déjà vu with Ralph's 'season of two halves' a couple seasons ago... Flying between October and February then.... Crash!

[bpsaint]

Has Colin Calderwood secretly fucked off or something? We’ve been an absolute shambles defensively this month.

No need to call the ref a lady...

But its okay though, we downgraded Alcaraz for Rothwell with our last loan slot...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Pass. Pass. Pass. Run a bit. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Run a bit. Pass. Lose the ball.

Rinse repeat.

Better position than us.

[Saint_clark]

Martin out. 

[adrian lord]

We are going to have to get promoted the hard way.

Next season with a shit squad you mean? 

[Block41 Saint]

Another game where we have basically no midfield. Martin gone back to the inverted full back tactics that were utterly shite in the first few weeks of the season. 4th place with this side is failure. 

[Mr X]

At least we can firmly lay the idea of automatic promotion to bed now!

Dinlows alert!!!!

We conceded from a goalkeeping fuck up and a Bednarek brain fart, but apparently this definitely wouldn't have happened if Downes was playing.

Milwall have managed more than two passes about once in the entire match.

It looks like there are about 3 divisions between the sides. This has been a complete freak match so far.

Behave 😂

 

Weve been good today, just been ridiculously unlucky with the pen and our naff goalkeeper. 
 

We can still win this 

[Saint NL]

Half time.

Christ, we fell behind to a howler, then put them under pressure without really creating anything. Finally get the equaliser, but then give away a cheap penalty.

Nothing is going for us. Millwall look like a dirty side, there a red card waiting to happen, so hopefully we can take advantage.

Not sure what changes to make? Mara could come on, but Che scored and hasn't looked too bad. I've been slightly disappointed in Brooks so far, hopefully he can get a bit more involved second half.

He's had 24 mins off the bench so far. Not much going for him there it would seem.
